Hi im looking for living relatives on my dads side of the family. He died when i was 10 and at that time no one had contact with any of his family....ive traced all his brothers and sisters and i think i have their married names and children....but im not sure how to go about finding out where these people are now and if any of his family are still alive which they must be. Any help would be appreciated xx

if you have his siblings names and marriages you could try www.192.com to see if any of them come up.

Hopefully you just need to connect with one of them and they will know where the others are

If the surname is unusual..........try the phone book.........

..........free on line, or in any main public library reference section

Will the person who has reported this also send a message to Sonia explaining the reasons why you have done this, as this is her first post.
Thank-you.

Fortunately, the first post has been re-instated. I have sent Sonia guidelines on how to find her replies. :-D


'Idiots' Reggie? I think that's quite a complimentary term to use! ;-)
